The boy, 14, was taken to hospital Monday for injuries sustained in a beating.

Another boy, 14, has been charged with assault.

The video, which a third teenager posted to his Facebook page, shows the attacker landing a wide swing on a smaller boy's head. When the boy runs away, he is punched again before falling to the ground.

The attacker then punches the boy four times and kicks him twice before leaving him curled on the parking garage floor.
